196720: What is the ruling on paying membership fees to Islamic societies and centres in Western countries?

I want to join an islamic society in europe. This society includes a mosque and dars.
The shura demands a membership fee. Is this halal?

Praise be to Allah.

If the situation is as described, there is nothing wrong
with paying the fees demanded by the society and this is their right. If
the one who pays the fee intends, in addition to benefiting from the
activities, that what he pays is to support that society, then he will be
rewarded for that intention, in sha Allah, especially since the Islamic
societies and centres in Western countries are doing important work, such
as teaching the Muslims about their religion and striving to spread Islam
in those countries. They provide a good environment for the Muslims there,
so supporting them financially and in other ways comes under the heading
of calling people to Allah.
